This has been agreed on - including Kasper, right?

I don't know. I guess making RTE work in Mozilla isn't that hard work as 
the Midas-API mimicks the IE-API.

I'd play around with it if I had time. Currently my volunteer work on 
Typo3 is focused on getting the i18n stuff (yes, UTF-8 and Asian 
multi-byte friends) on track.

I have still hope that some bored student and/or Mozilla freak will hack 
something usable. Personally I don't care for Java or Flash editors.
